FAO Verse, how do you regard this lyric in this song?

[Butterball]

Dunno if you're familiar with it, it's Elvis Costello ****ting over the English's empirical fixations.

He likens the way the English treat(ed) the Irish to the way that white people treated black people back in the old days. But he drops the N-Bomb to make his point, a fact that made me slightly uncomfortable when I was listening to this in a pub with a black guy once.

Forward to 1'04m in to see what you make of it:

Why did Duke get banned, Sir?

[MetalVomit]

If I were you I'd refrain from calling me a Fat Yank, ANNIE.

[Verstyle]

Wasn't feeling it. I had to not look at his face so I was searching online while listening. That dude just looks boring.

[Butterball]

You rate him, Godzy? I give the guy his props. Certainly for his prime anyway.

STFU and stick a burger in it, coronary boy.
